Ex-Lieutenant-Govern Daggett Hon
ored by His Friends.
Last evening Northumberland
Daggett was surprised at his rooms in the
Capital Hotel by a number of the hold
over Senators. After a few moments of
pleasant conversation Senator Chandler, of
Suffer, said he had been designated by his
brother Senators to perform very pleasant
duty. They had been presided over in the
Senate chamber by x-Lieutenant-G Governor
Daggett, who by his fairness, impartiality
and constant desire to do entire justice by
all, on every and all occasions, had won
gard. As the time had now come
when the official ties that had so
long bound them together were
severed, when they should meet no more in
an official capacity, when they must be
separated by many miles, and their social
intercourse be interrupted, so far as some
were concerned forever, the Senators de-
sired to present the ex-Lieutenant-G Coy
ernor with slight token of their regard,
remembrance of the many anxious days
they had spent in the halls of legislation,
battling against slickens, fighting for irri-
CATION, wrestling with the apportioninent
stubbornlv fighting political questions.
While many of those days are historical
for the legislation accomplished, others are
remembered for the p!easurable reunions
and fraternal greetings that ever character
lied the intercourse between them. The
speaker then presented Mr. Daggett with a
mammoth diamond scarf pin. handsomely
set in a broad gold bind.
Mr.. Daggett made no excuses he. did not
say that he was taken by surprise that he
was not prepared to respond, or anything
of that kind, but responded with much
feeling, and, as he warmed to the occasion,
he became eloquent. 1t was the happiest
moment of his life. He said so, and every
one who listened to his speech realized that
fact. He was inspired, he was eloquent,
and as he reviewed the past and expressed
hopes for the future, he used language so
full of feeling, so honest, sincere, SO re-
pete with the finer feelings of sentiment
ality, that no one could for moment
believe they came from a politician,
and particularly so when that politician
was a Democrat. He paid high
compliment to Senator Chandler, who
had served with him seven sessions of the
Legislature, and although opposed in poll
tics they ever agreed on all issues where
the rights of the people were at stake. In
his opinion Senator Chandler was good,
sound, honest legislator, the only fault he
had to find with him was that he was a
Republican.
After several short speeches by different
Senators. the party were invited to partake
of sparkling champagne, and as they
pulled away at their fragrant havanas there
was feast of reason and flow of soul.
THE ORPHAN ASYLUM kINDEIGARTEN.-
An account was given a few days since of
the praiseworthy enterprise that has been
inaugurated for establishing kindergarten
school for the little ones at the Protestant
Orphan Asylum in this city, and of the

pose. The lady managers of the Asylum
have arranged to give grand concert to
aid in raising funds for constructing the
building. and ask the assistance of all
charitablv disposed persons to take tickets
| and to aid in disposiug of others. The
| concert will be given on February 4th at the

dent or Mrs F. w. Frat, Treasurer of the
Asylum.
